文法句型

reminisce + about + noun phrase

用法筆記

Always intransitive — the object of the memory is introduced by the preposition 'about'. The subject is always a person or group of people. 'Reminisce' implies both remembering AND sharing the memory, unlike 'remember' which can be a private act.

常見錯誤

We reminisced our trip to Japan.
We reminisced about our trip to Japan.
reminisce is intransitive and requires 'about' before the object.
She reminisces that summer was wonderful.
She reminisces about that wonderful summer.
a that-clause cannot follow reminisce directly; use 'about' + noun phrase.
